MAIN Steel Production Sets November Mark New York, Dec. 10-- Unltod States Steel reported today its subsidiaries shipped more finished steel products in November than ever had been achieved for that month in previous years, bringing the 11 months' total to the highest in history. However, production in November, which included the captive coal mine strike, was 227,093 tons less than October.

Mrs. Rigby who was 71 years old.

was born in Clinton county west of Kempton, daughter of James and Sara Barnett She was twice married and is the mother of ten children, who sur- night Japan's "sudden criminal attacks," as the climax of a decade of "international immorality," and- dc-. clared confidently that America was going to win the war and the peace that follows. He asserted in a radio address to the people of his country that "we must begin the great task that is before us by abandoning once for all the illusion that -we can even again isolate ourselves from the! rest of humanity." Mr. Roosevelt said that America was in the war "all the He admitted that thus far the news had all been bad and that a serious setback had been suffered in Hawaii. Reports from Guam, Wake, and Midway Islands, he said, remained confused, "but we must be prepared for the announcement that all these three outposts have been seized." Denies Naval Supremacy Ixst But he rejected as a rumor originating with enemy sources Japanese claims that they had gained naval supremacy in the Pacific as i a result of their Sunday attack on Hawaii.

"This is an old trick of propaganda, which has been used innumerable times by the Nazis," the President said. "The purposes of such fantastic claims are, of course, to spread fear and confusion among- us, and to goad us into revealing military information which our enemies are desperately anxious to obtain." He promised that facts would not be hidden from the country if the facts were known and if the enemy would not be helped by their disclosure. He warned the press and radio they had no right to "deal out unconfirmed reports" in such way as to make people believe they were the truth. Must Increase Production As he had suggested at a press conference earlier in the day, Mr. Roosevelt spoke of the vital need for greatly expanding America's industrial strength and capacity to meet the demands of modern warfare.

This is to be done by stepping up the present production program, "by working on a seven day week basis in every war industry, including the production of essential raw materials," and by building new plants, enlarging old ones and using many small ones for war i needs.

Privilege to Sacrifice It is a privilege rather than sacrifice, he said, for the people pay more taxes, buy more bonds, forego extra profits and work longer or harder. Mr. Roosevelt declared flatly that government had known that for weeks Germany "has been telling Japan that if Japan did not attack the United States, Japan would not share in dividing the with Germany when peace He spoke of long years of friend ship which the United States had had with Japan and of patient efforts to achieve an honorable and fair peace in the Pacific. But for the past ten years, he said, Japan's course in Asia had parallelled that of Hitler and Mussolini in Europe and Africa. "Today, it has become far more than a parallel.

It is collaboration so well calculated that all the continents of the world and all the oceans are now considered by the axis strategists as one gigantic battlefield." Going back to review events of the past year and a half, since the fall of Prance, the President contended that the country gained "precious months," to prepare against attack by sending huge quantities of war supplies to the nations able to resist axis aggression. "Our policy," he said, "rested on the fundamental truth that the defense of any country resisting Hitler or Japan was in the long run the defense of our own country. That policy has been justified. It has given us time, invaluable time, to build our American assembly lines of production." Reemphasizing his view that the lend-lease program must continue, t' Roosevelt said production must not be for our own forces alone, but to reinforce other armies, navies, and sky fleets fighting Nazis and the war lords of Japan throughout the world.
